Recall -engine and engine cooling I have a 07 jetta 2.0l. 2 months ago I noticed a gas smell when I took my oil cap off I noticed there was a lot of steam/smoke & I could tell that's where the smell was coming from. There was nothing visible other than the steam/gas vapor. The coolant level never moves. I was only getting 15 miles to the gallon because it was leaking into my engine. On 7/13/19 the engine seized (locked) up while I was driving it. I was driving my wife to work with our 5 year old son. I had just turned on the street of her work going 10 miles an hour & it felt like my car just died. I couldn't even get the engine to turn over. I had to get my vehicle towed to a repair shop. Which is when I found out that the engine seized. I have absolutely no transportation now. (recall faulty air bags my car is miles away at the repair shop, so I can't take a picture of the air bag light but it turned on about a week ago and hasn't shut off. My concern is that this is something that a repair shop can not fix/ its going to be so expensive that I can't afford to fix it. It has faulty air bags that can just go off while I'm driving! Safety bags are a 'must have' & it is illegal to sell/produce any non safe vehicle! I seen that volkswagen company made a hand full of recalls on this vehicle over the last 8 years. The previous owner kept the car in a garage & started it daily he just never checked for recalls. Parts on this car are compatible with the 06-09 jettas& sportwagons & he had replaced parts. I'm unsure which ones were replaced. My vehicle falls under the category of a vw jetta sedan. I'm having all of the same recall issues that the jetta is recalling for. & the horn does not work when it's parked. Your company posted the recalls for all of the same problems that I'm having with this vehicle! Recall no. 40j2/s4. Recall no. 20i4/u1. Recall no. Q8.

Airbag indicator light has come on and for the most part remains on. For short periods of time the light will go off, but inevitably, it always turns back on. This is very concerning and seems to be a systemic issue with this make and model year. Many report airbags not deploying in the event of an accident. Volkswagen needs to do the right thing and issue a recall before they have a pr nightmare by putting profit margins over the lives of their consumers.

My vehicle has approximately 165k miles. Right at about 120k miles, the transmission started shifting harshly. At times, the transmission would get stuck at 3rd gear, and the transmission indicator panel lights up prnd all at once. This usually happens when driving hills, or stop and go driving. My airbag light is also on constantly. I've had the issue fixed previously, however, the issue has returned. Lastly, my passenger side door does not like all the time. I've tried to remotely and manually lock the door; however, it is not working properly.

The airbag light came on one day while driving. Pulled over and shut car off then restarted and light stayed on. Looked light up in manual and it states there is a problem with the airbag system and they may not deploy in an accident. This concerns me as a major safety issue. Secondly my passenger side door lock fails to lock or unlock intermittently. As a result I have to leave my car unlocked at times since there is no way to lock the door manually. Also is a safety concern if the door won't unlock in a crash situation.

On june 29 2012 airbag indicator light came. Vehicle was taken to vw and they stated that it was the wire harness under the passenger seat. Since vehicle wa not under warranty I had to pay $375.00 to get it repaired (or so I thought) july 17th 2013 airbag light returned. On july 22nd 2013 I took car in to vw this time they had my car for two days and diagnosed the problem to be the airbag igniter. I questioned the fact that they didn't catch that the first time and they replied that the scanner didn't catch it(yeah right) the service guy tells me that its $500.00 for the part and 8 hours of labor, ouch!!! Are you kidding me that is a safety issue and should be covered regardless. I contacted vwoa and I'm still waiting for a response. I refuse to pay that money for a safety matter that is clearly a manufacture defect. I will never again buy vw. I'm seeking repair expense paid by vwoa and a refund for the harness since it was not the problem.
